They Receive n Right Royal Reception
Upon theIr Arrival ut Toronto.
Ottawa, May 26--The governor gen
eral and Lady L%ansdowne arrived in
Toronto this afternoon. The demonstra-
ton was the grandest ever seen IN the
city. A. lasge depntation from the clti-
zens' committee met them and an enor-
nous procession escorted them through
the streets to Cartier square, where 1000
school children on q large stand sang a
ohorous of welcome. The address OF
welcome felicitated the governor gen.
eral on the regard and esteem in which
he is held in Ottawa, refers to The pro-
gress the CITY has made during his term
office, ind expresses the devotion OF
the CITY to the queen. The governor
general, after thanking the citizens for
their magnificent welcome, said: "Oi
myself you have spoken IN terms which
/ feel reflect the GOOD will which exists
between us rather than my W deserts.
l am afraid, however, even upon this
assumption / capnot entirely account
for, the extraoid binary reception we have
encountered at the hands of your
people, After referring to the questions
of former receptions he asked: aHow
.are we to explain the change which has
taken place? We have had such recep-'
|tions as, l will endeavor to say, never
has been accorded any encouragement
before" He could not account for all
this upon the theory that the purpose
for which he absented himself for o few
weeks had been such as to merit Buch
exnberant marks OF appreciation. In all
the places where he had stopped he had
! encountered similar out bursts IF loyalty
to the queen and good will and kindness
| toward himself. 81 have made inquiries
and endeavored to arrive at some ez-
PLANTATION of fscts, and ] am given
to understand the explanation ia
this: That since we last saw You an In
vasion of Canada hos taken place, and
that invasion hes not been success
full. / learn that the invasion was in
some respects remarkable. The In
Yading force was not numerically strong,
but made up in intrepidity for its weak
ness and numbers. it appears, more
over, to have taken ut the outset Of it'll
Operation q step which lie, | believe, moi
unusual with skilled strategists. II
seized possession OF telegraph wires
through which information OF q most
startling character WIS Literally poured
into the country. Understand q fur.
Their object was to oyerrun the country
and above all thugs put to flight q Ger
tain high official of the state OF whom
unless l misunderstood what has taken
place to-day, the people of OTTAWA are
anxious to get rid of. There APP
pears to bave been a weak point in the
rrrangement-the invaders we've com,
pleteiy misIed by their intelligence de-
partment. They had been assured tho,
the moment they showed themselves
there would be a great rising of the ma
tiyes. Well, the general rising TOOK
place, but unfortunately it wes on the
wrong side. Now, the end of eli this
kas been that the "invasion" is over
that Canada is still a part of the British
empirs: that the encouragement ia
still her majesty's representative-nay
more, l think we might also say that but
for the events which j have described
he would not have received the magnih-
cent reception accorded as by the people
OF Toronto which you have followed nj
| this evening""
